Thornton is 175 years old. He can go. Pavelski, meh. Maybe if the sharks win the Cup he takes whatever than can give him to stick around.
The Sharks prospect pool is one of the worst and they just got rid of Tierney, Norris and Balcers who might have amounted to something, maybe.
Be interesting to see what they do after this season. And I guess SJ and Vegas have 2 playoffs spots locked up in the Pacific.
As far as Canadian teams go screw the playoffs for Ottawa, Montreal and Vancouver. Even worried about my Jets tbh who have a few question marks.

I did hear that the Sens were worried that Karlsson could get traded to the East at the deadline if the Sharks fall out of a playoff spot, so they added protection and they would receive an extra 1st rounder from San Jose if this happens.
